Mealtime assistant (feeder) for seniors

Volunteers are needed to assist residents in CHSLD with their meals. Due to various impairments which can include visual, cognitive and/or other physical limitations, residents often need assistance and encouragement to eat their meals. A friendly and patient volunteer can make a positive difference with how a resident experiences this important activity of daily living. Volunteers will receive training and will always assist in the presence of nursing supervision/support. Volunteers are needed for this task on all days of the week and for any of the three regular meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner). If you have about an hour per week to offer, this is a role for you!

Friendly Visitor

Westmount

We're recruiting volutneers for our Friendly Visitor Program. Friendly visits help break the feelings of isolation felt by many seniors, especially in those for whom mobility is a problem. We match isolated seniors with volunteers for a visit every week. Volunteers will meet with a senior in their home, catch up over a cup of tea, help out with a chore, and generally get to know each other. We hope that this is a mutually beneficial relationship in which both people might learn from the experiences of the other and enjoy each other’s company.
